Hijabs are cultural not religious.

In most cases they are merely necessary

Wow, way to insult a whole region. Marrying first cousins is more common, but they don't wear a hijab as children, and I'm my admittedly limited experience I haven't seen any obvious birth defects or flaws any more than other people.

Really, aren't all modesty laws subjugation? I say we all stop wearing any clothes. What better way to let the government know that we won't have them telling us we have to cover up. I mean, what gives them the right? So public decency laws are virtue signaling.

New births in England have reached a record level of birth defects since muslims invaded en mass. A consequence of a tradition of marrying first cousins, largely Pakistani.

No, sorry, I'll skip your degenerate idea, thanks.

Fair enough. Facts are facts. Still, record numbers could be an increase of only a few percent - and the cousin thing is also cultural. Non Arabic Muslims don't marry cousins more frequently Pakistan is the worst for marrying cousins, so no surprise there.

no, it wasn't a few percentage points. it was like a fifty to one hundred percent jump but I can't remember the figure. it was significant tho.

Looks like about double, but there may be new studies.

About 1.7% of babies in England and Wales are born with a birth defect such as heart problems or Down's Syndrome, but among BiB babies the rate was nearly double that, at 3%.

Researchers said the risk of birth defects among children of blood relatives remained small, at 6%.

For some, the hijab is worn by Muslim women to maintain modesty and privacy from unrelated males. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia". The Qur'an instructs Muslim women and men to dress modestly

True, but modest in dress is also a requirement of Christianity and Judaism. Some Jewish sects wear the equivalent of a hijab. Or Orthodox Jews who wear wigs so only their husband can see their natural hair.

Also, having taken a few work trips to the middle east, let me tell you, nothing like breathing in a sand storm to make you wish you had a face covering.

And once the temp gets to be in the 110 or above range you are more comfortable with everything covered. When the wind blows and it's 120, you feel like you are in a convection oven.

Sure, that might all make sense if the women weren't wearing black lol!

Apparently the loose fit and the way they layer results in the color but making much difference.
